The default RDS Region:

The plugin works starting with APEX version 4.0.2 (plugin developed in 4.0.2.00.08). The function IS_COMPONENT_USED is not available in prior versions.
New updated version is working now with the XE 10g edition The RDS Plugin:

1. RDS Customizable - simple regions - Instructions

Two simple RDS regions (col 1 and 2)

The left region is without "Show All" - label. In the right region it is replaced by "Show Both" and put in last position.
Detailed instructions are below.

column 1

In the regions going into the RDS

Set Region Display Selector to "Yes"
Set Region Attributes to a class name (the same for regions going into a particular RDS)
In this example in regions "one", "two" and "three":
```
class="left"
```

In the RDS plugin

Create a new region type of Plug-in and choose RDS Customizable
Set Region Grouping Class Name to the class of the regions, here:
```
"left"
```
Change the second parameter: Display "Show All" to: "No"

column 2

Proceed like above but change class name (in the example I've just chosen "right" but it can be anything of course)
Set the first parameter to the class name of your choice (here:
```
"right"
```
)
Set the second parameter, this time to
```
"Yes"
```
Change label to
```
"Show Both"
```
or whatever you wish
Leave the rest of the parameters unchanged

2. RDS Customizable - nested regions - Instructions

Two nested RDS regions (with "Show All" images*)

parent

The parent is the plugin with settings like below

The image in the last tab ("Show All") is set through css attribute of the label

Proceed like above
Region Grouping Class Name:
```
your-class-name
```
Display "Show All":
```
"Yes"
```
Label of "Show All": leave unchanged
Escape "Show All": leave unchanged (
```
"No"
```
)

Css Attribute of "Show All":

class="ui-icon ui-icon-folder-collapsed"

Position of "Show All": set as you wish (here:
```
"Last"
```
)

child(ren)

The child(ren) regions are also RDS plug-ins with Region Display Selector set to "Yes" and Region Attributes to class name of the parent RDS

The image here is the "real" one - the img tag

Region Grouping Class Name:
```
your-class-name
```
Display "Show All":
```
"Yes"
```

Label of "Show All":

<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#view-all.png" alt="Show All" />

Escape "Show All": set to
```
"Yes"
```
- important
Css Attribute of "Show All": leave empty
Position of "Show All": set as you wish

* Displaying images in the regions' tabs has nothing to do with the plug-in. In order to have images displayed, replace title with an image tag or, as in this case, I used jQuery images which are already implemented in the APEX. Example for the first tab:

<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-image" title="Images"></span>
